Alamo City Furry Invasion (ACFI)

The move to San Marcos more than triples the convention's meeting space (42,000 sq. ft!), placing it perfectly in the "Texas Triangle" to draw friends from Austin and San Antonio. The "Fuzzballs" theme aligns with this futuristic ambition.

About Alamo City Furry Invasion

Alamo City Furry Invasion (ACFI) is the premier furry convention in the Central Texas area. What began as a local gathering in San Antonio has evolved into a major regional event, drawing attendees from across the "Texas Triangle" and beyond. The convention prides itself on being inclusive, family-friendly, and a central hub for the diverse furry community of Texas.

Historically hosted in San Antonio since its inception in 2017, the convention made a big move in 2025 to San Marcos, Texas. This relocation allowed ACFI to occupy a much larger venue, signaling a new era of fun and possibilities for the convention.

History and Themes

ACFI has a tradition of embracing fun and creative themes.

• 2025: The "Fuzzballs" theme was a delightful parody of the 80s classic Spaceballs, bringing a sci-fi comedy atmosphere to the new venue.
• 2024: "A Totally Pawesome Prom Night" (or "Furry High") took attendees back to the 1980s for a nostalgic high school prom experience.
• Origins: First held in October 2017 at the El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel, the convention quickly exceeded attendance expectations, necessitating multiple venue upgrades over the years.

The San Marcos Expansion

The move to the Embassy Suites & Convention Center in San Marcos represents a massive upgrade. This "resort-style" venue offers:

• Major Space Increase: Expanding from 14,000 to over 42,000 square feet of meeting space.
• Strategic Location: Situated perfectly between Austin and San Antonio, making it accessible to two major population centers.
• Amenities: As an all-suite hotel, it offers complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and evening receptions, adding significant value for attendees.

Highlights

• Rapid Growth: One of the fastest-growing conventions in the Texas region.
• Prime Location: The San Marcos venue is a destination in itself, with updated facilities and ample room for activities.
• Community Focus: Dedicated to creating a customized, safe, and educational experience for fans of anthropomorphic arts.
